The Four Foundations of Lifelong Learning

How long do you have until your children are old enough to go to school? Are they ready? You probably already realize that you have an enormous task ahead of you. Whether a child is homeschooled or attends traditional school, he has a long list of skills he must learn if he’ll be prepared for formal education. In addition, most parents realize that education is actually a lifestyle, a way of living in which learning takes place at any time and at all times. “School” isn’t something that starts in September after a child turns five. Rather, parents have a million and one things to begin teaching right away! “School” is simply a continuation of everything we are already doing with our children.

So what should we teach our children before they turn five? What skills do they need to master so that learning will be enjoyable and effective when they begin their formal schooling? If homeschooling, how can we ensure that we will be successful teaching our own children? (How can we even define “success”?)
